Abstract
A welding fixture and method allow for both coarse and fine adjustments of headstocks and tailstocks for securing a tank or other cylindrical-like object within a welding fixture. Coarse adjustment is provided by adjusting the headstock and/or tailstock linearly along a rail system. Find adjustment is provided by linearly adjusting a movable table on which the headstock and/or tailstock rest. The headstock and tailstock may also have compression clamping members for securing the tank to the headstock and tailstock. Pipe stands are also provided for supporting the tank before, during, and after the welding process.
